  • Coming through loud and clear, Rick.  Thank you, sir.  Not an original though.  A classic!  And I bet you would do a good job on it too.

    Thanks, Derek.  Me too.  It's kind of embarrassing!  Delia, Tom Dooley, Crow Jane, Long Black Veil - and more.  Hey, I sure like the sawmill tuning.

  • I'm a sucker for murder ballads, John. Good one here.

  • I don’t think my comments are going through John. This is a test. Great song! Original and on a mandolin, tops!

  • Thanks, Kale and Dave.  Much appreciated.  This mando may let me recycle old songs/videos for months!

  • Loved it Unc. , Excellent story and great singing and pickin.

  • Nice storytelling music John. It keeps the listener engaged from beginning to end. Nice tin sandwich too.

  • Thanks, Doug.  That mando works so well that I may one day add the rest of the frets.  But I only use about 4 of them!   I laid the fret board along side a store bought mandolin to mark the frets.  

    Not the history classes I went to, Pick.  But I might have liked them more with some good story songs.  I remember you at the arcade.  You got highest score ever on the Dale Evans pinball set.

  • So this is was  what history class was like .

    Dang . I skipped and  went to the arcade usually .

    ;-) 

  • Fine form Uncle John! A murder ballad, yeah! Where are the rest of the frets on that mando? By the way, how did you set intonation without a 12th fret?

  • Alan, I like the Sonny and Brownie version best too.  Thank you.
